    W2K14 offers up many option for players to personalize the game: design your own wrestler, move sets, entrances and a complete soapy story. The main attraction definitely is the very good 30 years of wrestling-campaign. Unfortunately the camera could be better and the lack of an actual story mode can be a downside for those who look forward to it.

    Octodad: Dadliest Catch is anything but intuitive, and that’s exactly what makes it this much fun. While you’re doing everyday things with your family you’ll be rolling on the floor laughing, whilst also feeling something for the characters and its story. All the more a shame that the camera isn’t cooperative at times and certain moments simply don’t work, because Octodad: Dadliest Catch is something special.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the ultimate family platformer and therefore an excellent launch game. You can buy this without thinking twice if you have kids. But young and old are going to enjoy A Big Adventure. Take the traditional platforms for granted now and then and you will get a big smile in return.

    Underground is a funny Wii U-game with a serious twist as it is a serious surgery game. It makes an art out of moving as smooth as possible with robot arms, and it is fun but hard to learn, especially because of the GamePad that often gives your fingers a hard time.

    Axiom Verge 2 is a daring and quirky sequel. The emphasis on exploring the labyrinthine world shows how clever the game world is, but the combat is lacking. Fighting is not much in Axiom Verge 2, but it also becomes less important with each new skill. This metroidvania manages to present such an interesting (double!) game world that this unique second part does not feel like a miss despite the bad start.

    Baba is You offers up one brainteaser after another and that is simply not for everyone. We wish this game had a hint system, cause staring at the same thing for hours can be dreadful.

    Fifa 19 is a very complete game, but we are not sure about its course. Instead of pointing out some nuances in soccer or making it a better esports game, the game has used the same limited gameplay mechanics for three years.

    Cossacks 3 is a good RTS with a lot of addictive features. It's historically correct, the background music is excellent and it simply is an amazing game without adding too many distractions.

    With a few quick new rides, gameplay types and other possibilities to enjoy cars in a huge open world, Wild Run is a good addition to The Crew. The price is a bit high though.

    The Medium relies mainly on the intense atmosphere. The detailed environments are amazing. But The Medium is also just too short, too easy and a bit too predictable to be named the new Silent Hill. Moreover, we can expect more from a "real" next-gen game.

    Fall Guys is a big hit and it is more than justified. The bizarre minigames lead to wonderfully chaotic situations. It's a shame that not every game is equally fun and the team games often feel unfair, but the fun is too great to let that ruin it.

    Story of Seasons takes a while to get going, but when it does, it is an awesome Harvest Moon-like experience. There is an interesting system in place for dealing with rivals and new ways of farming mixed with classic gameplay make this game worth while.

    Bardbarian is very addicting. So much so, that it’ll have you wonder whether you’re actually playing it to enjoy yourself. Thankfully, this doesn’t matter on the commute. A game of Bardbarian is a great time waster.

    Dying Light is a good game, but the story and the fighting system disappoint. We appreciate this game for being a lovely mixture of action, excitement, gore and freedom.

    Need for Speed Payback is one of the biggest games that we have ever seen in this franchise. Yet the game does not feel fresh and different, because the story is really bad.

    New Super Luigi 2 is actually a completely new game with dozens of levels. The abruptness of the shorter levels won't sit right with everyone, but do ramp up the difficulty. It's a shame though that it reuses all of the New Super Mario Bros. U art-assets and doesn't offer any new environments. This can be looked over though, by whoever can't get enough of qualitative strong platform adventures.

    Rise of the Ronin is bursting with ambition: it wants to tell an important moment in Japanese history in a compelling way in an open game world in which you can lose yourself endlessly. Unfortunately, this does not always work out well and the game feels messy and colorless. Fortunately, Team Ninja's excellent combat saves the day with razor-sharp precision and memorable fights.

    Not only a mouth full, but also a spectacular fighting game. The action remains true to the series, characters have lots of different fighting styles and has expansive online options. But why has the open world from previous games been removed and is the story told so poorly?

    As a Fallout themed management sim for short playing sessions, Fallout Shelter is a nice game to wait for the Fallout 4-release. However, as soon as you put more time in your vault, you will discover you will have to make contributions to Bethesda's vault first.

    Playing soccer with cars, why not? Rocket League offers a big load of extreme and chaotic multiplayer experiences, that are really enjoyable when you have some friends over. The singleplayer, however, is too short and offers too little variation.

    Assassin's Creed Pirates is about shallow sea combat and fast boats. A simple, but entertaining snack.

    Mercenary Kings is a decent game that approaches the action shooter genre in an original way. Some parts haven’t been executed on all that well though, which makes the game feel slow and boring at times.

    Although WWE All Stars offers mild depth with its counter-system, it's mostly an easily accessible fighting-game meant for the nostalgic WWE-fan. One side-note: the WWE-series with oversimplified controls, faster gameplay and a catroony style turned the series around a different corner. The real WWE-fan – excluding the average gamer – might mourn over this. As a nice, quickly satisfying game, WWE All Stars is a fine and refreshing choice.

    This game offers traditional point-and-click gameplay with a fast pace and strong storytelling. It lacks excitement and action, but the Sherlock Holmes feeling is definitely there.

    Maquette starts off strong, but halfway through the story we forgot why the gameplay and the story were such a great match. Maquette offers a fun way to play with scale and is therefor still worth the try.

    Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a fun platform and action game, but nothing more than that. It's a decent HD-reincarnation of The Sands of Time.

    Don’t let yourself be fooled by the easy controls of Fantasy Life, as this new Level-5 world is a lovely one to discover. Backtracking is not great, but with that many content we cannot really complain.

    Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is just as mean as it used to be. Thankfully you've got option now to change the difficulty level a bit.

    Bomberman Land Touch! 2 is just like its predecessors. Very enyoable. The story mode is mostly the same as the first game in the series. The combination of the classic Bomberman-mode and a online option guarantees us of hours of play.
